The loud, Italian know-nothing radio guys needed something to talk about so it was ROlen being selfish and Abreu being lackadasical
Ben Clemens

Kevin Goldstein

Anyone want a Rafael Furcal story?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:49
yah
Phil
10:49
Yes on Raffy Furc
Kevin Goldstein
10:50
So the Astros complex in the DR is on land owned by Rafael Furcal. So every month, the Astros write a check to Rafael Furcal for the land lease. Royals too, right next to Astros complex. I guess he owns a ton of land in the DR.

If Correa leaves in FA, do you think Bregman can be avg or better at SS?
Kevin Goldstein
10:50
No, more of a 40-45 SS.
10:51
Elvis Andrus just took a 2-1 ball and started trotting to first . . . whoops.
Morbo

One of my favorite baseball memories is watching Albert Pujols absolutely annihilate that pitch from Brad Lidge in the 2005 playoffs
Kevin Goldstein

Gausman CRUISING

I joined late. Have we already covered Giolito’s change to Trout?
Ben Clemens
10:51
Yes, it was preposterous
Ken Weidner
10:52
Eric, as one of the brightest minds on hawk hill, I had a important question for you.. When will the Phillies make the playoffs again?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:52
Put your palm pilot in your fanny pack and gtfo.
I know this is one of maybe three people^
people at my college did not like the profs who did the capstone courses

Steve Stone breaking out a description of how BABIP can let you know whether someone is due for regression
The White Sox broadcast is just great
And Benetti trolled him afterwards, too

Does KG ever sleep?
Kevin Goldstein
10:53
I'm a late nite person out of habit.
Morbo
10:54
If anyone ever builds a time machine I'm using it to take statcast equipment back to that game because I want to know how hard he hit that ball
Ben Clemens
10:54
My favorite part of that is a story I read in Sports Illustrated (those were the days). Something made a clanking sound on the Astros flight back to StL that night
And one of the players told Lidge it was Pujols's ball coming down

Is the 20-round draft going to be the new norm with the contracted minor league systems?
Kevin Goldstein
10:54
I would bet with next CBA it will be 20-30.
Wow
10:55
More impressive: striking out Ohtani and Trout to start a game or striking Astudillo and Arraez in extras?
Ben Clemens
10:55
He struck Fletcher out too!!!
Kevin Goldstein
10:55
That was as unhittable as I've ever seen Hader, and he often looks unhittable.
Ben Clemens
10:56
It was one game, but I keep feeling better about my +Kolten Wong -Keston Hiura take
Brewers game was a ton of fun
BunkMcNultys
10:56
Wait.  I logged on during my lunch break (west coast) and saw KG chatting.  Now I'm logging on after dinner.  Still KG in the mix? (btw. a new Chin Music listener --- good stuff)
Kevin Goldstein
10:57
It's Opening Day what the hell else am I going to do? You realize I love baseball, right? Also, thanks for listening!
Ben Clemens
10:57
Jeez Giolito is rolling
BunkMcNultys
10:57
Who sleeps less? Kevin Goldstein or Ben Lindbergh?
Kevin Goldstein
10:57
I sleep! Just more of a 1-9/2-10 type of person.
CWess

It's probably confirmation bias, but the inclusion of the strike zone outline on every broadcast now makes me feel even more that home-plate umpires need to go sooner than later (re: Stassi strikeout)
